Default A riddle

The riddle of the Sphinx:

What moves on five legs in the morning, three legs in the afternoon and six
legs in the evening?

Answer:
A man moves on four legs in the morning of life, two legs in the afternoon
and carries a walking cane in the evening.

But... but... but... you said SIX legs in the evening...

He has a Zimmer frame.

But... but... but... you said FIVE legs in the morning...

Answer:
Ignore that part of it until I'll think up some excuse.
